Thanks for sharing your numbers.

1. and 2. shows that there is at least no significant
performance regression.

I see the patch set of 3. and I think that the result
(there is no performance difference between 1. and 3.) isn't
strange. The patch set adds some if branches but they aren't
used with "text" format at least in per row process.

Thanks,
